Motorola Moto G (8GB)

The price was the key to the original Moto G's success and we suspect it will be a similar story for the 2014 model too. For £150 you get a lot for your money, including a decent display, very good battery life, ample performance and an improved camera, as well as microSD storage expansion and a raw Android operating system experience with some useful extras.However, with its new 5-inch screen the larger Moto G brings a new design that - and this is partly thanks to the metal bar speaker grilles on the front - we just don't like as much as the original. The larger form factor feels bulkier and heavier (even though the figures suggest it's reasonably insignificant) that make for a different experience.The absence of 4G may also seem an oddity - especially when the interim Moto G model offered such connectivity, so we wouldn't be surprised if yet another 5-inch Moto G appears with 4G in the near future - but when price is king that's not such a surprise.We might not like the 2014 Moto G quite as much as the original model from last year, but we still never felt like we were compromising on quality or experience. The choice of accessories and interchangeable backs means you can make this device into your own without it costing you an arm and a leg. And at £150 the Motorola Moto G 2014 is a steal.
